I'm a little concerned (and morbidly interested!) in how you know what that actually sounds like...

Hahaha! :lol:

Ive always thought about it cause i used love driving with the music up. Now its pretty lonely on your own, on the bike, nothing but wind noise.

Come to think of it, i had the music up LOUD when i used to drive on the freeways, especially with the windows down. And heres me worried about playing some music through some headphones off my phone while riding. Valid concern?

I prefer a good FooFighters mix for the run down to the coast !!

Music is great in boring / heavily policed stretches. When you want to get 'up it for the rent' with a few mates, just turn the music off for a little while..........easy E. Thats the best of both worlds.

So it looks like I am the only one that wears only 1 earbud while riding...

So depending on your point of view I am a genius and getting the best of both worlds... or a tool getting the worst of both worlds... geez I wonder which! :?

i wear sony earbuds that go inside ur ear.. but as i pull my lid on they fall out partially.. originally this use to piss me off, but it does mean u can hear surrounding noise, and ppl talking to u etc... just means the music isnt that loud...

Just got myself an Ipod last week as the only thing I miss about the car is the stereo.

It is great- just have to remember to stop 'dancing' at the lights! :oops:

Rode to work in peak hour traffic Friday bopping along merrily. Was sitting at the front of the traffic at the lights when I realised that I was the entertainment for all of the cagers that were waiting for the green! :shock:

(Gotta remember to only dance on the inside!)

After riding to work and back today, i've realised that the Mighty Micron not only sings, it sets off car alarms :twisted:

I was setting them off all over the place as i rode along... :finga:
